Speedrunning the Trials
But the pressure they felt increased as they progressed.
Apart from Ling Han and Tang San, everyone else's step count remained in the double digits.
Tang San gritted his teeth and persevered, suppressing the erosion of his brain by the killing intent, and took one step at a time upwards.
Finally, he climbed the 280 steps, completing more than half on his first attempt, which meant he was not far from completing the First Trial the Asura Nine Trials.
As for Ling Han, he walked up to the 500th step as if it were flat ground.
A god-level body is truly something else!
Five hundred steps.
Six hundred steps.
Seven hundred steps.
All the way up to the last step.
Then, reach the top!
The next moment, the golden trident mark on Ling Han's forehead reacted.
A solemn voice rang out. "The First Trial the Sea God Nine Trials is complete! Reward: Sea God Affinity increased by 10%, and the age of all Soul Ring increased by 10,000 years!"
Ling Han smiled, quite satisfied with the reward.
It seems that with the increased difficulty, the rewards are also more generous.
Ling Han released his Martial Soul, and his Soul Ring appeared in the process.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!
Nine Soul Ring, at least Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Next up is the Second Trial.
However, the Second Trial shouldn't be rushed.
Ling Han planned to take the kids through the speed-test after they passed the First Trial.
"Congratulations, teacher, on passing the First Trial!" Tang San and the others congratulated Ling Han.
"Okay, I'll give you three months to pass the First Trial. After three months, I'll help you pass the speed test!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San and his companions showed joy.
But three months is indeed a bit short; they must race against time.
Three months later, the group made their final attempt at the First Trial.
Tang San was the first to rush up the steps.
Three months of honing his killing intent yielded remarkable results; Tang San's control over the Divine Slaughter's Domain became even more proficient.
I climbed 450 steps in one go, but the last 50 steps became difficult.
"Go, Third Brother!" Xiao Wu shouted.
She has completed the First Trial and is now watching Tang San charge forward.
Tang San took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and continued climbing upwards.
Four hundred and sixty steps.
Four hundred and seventy steps.
Four hundred and eighty steps.
Four hundred and ninety steps.
Five hundred!
Finally, Tang San successfully climbed the five hundred steps, completing the First Trial of Asura!
Everyone else has also completed their First Trial.
Everyone received a corresponding reward.
Feng Xiaotian and Dugu Yan both increased their Soul Power by one level.
Shui Bing'er and Xiao Wu both received a one-level increase in Soul Power, plus an increase of one thousand years in the lifespan of all their Soul Ring.
In this way, their Soul Ring Configuration became four purple and two black.
Tang San's Soul Ring have all their lifespan increased by 10,000 years, and his affinity with the Asura God has increased by 5%.
Tang San's Soul Ring Configuration became six black and one red.
The sixth Soul Ring Sixth Soul Ring belongs to the Blue Silver King, and it won't be long before it reaches 100,000 years.
Tang San's Fifth Soul Ring has now grown to over 50,000 years old.
After receiving their rewards, Tang San and Shui Bing'er successfully broke through to the next level.
Tang San broke through to level 80, Shui Bing'er broke through to level 70.
Then, both of them received God-Given Soul Ring.
"Absorb the God-Given Soul Ring, and I will protect you."
The two found a quiet place and began absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring together.
Three days later, the two completed the absorption process.
Shui Bing'er obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, which boosted her Soul Power to level 73.
Tang San obtained a red Soul Ring with three golden patterns, which increased his Soul Power to level 85.
Congratulations, you've all obtained some great Soul Ring.
Next, everyone began to examine the content of the Second Trial.
It has to be said, the Asura God is quite lazy.
Tang San's Second Trial was similar to the others, except that in addition to the requirement of Break Through the Ring-Shaped Blockade, there was an additional requirement that he could not use his Soul Power.
With Ling Han around, whether or not one can use Soul Power is completely irrelevant.
Ling Han was also prohibited from using Soul Power in his Second Trial, but Ling Han didn't care.
If we can't use Soul Power, then we'll use divine power!
Ling Han smiled slightly and led the group to the location of the Second Trial.
Then, Ling Han released his Martial Soul.
"Teacher, have you forgotten that we can't use Soul Power for this test?" Tang San quickly reminded him.
Ling Han smiled, "Who said I was going to use my Soul Power?"
Then, Ling Han's first seven Soul Ring lit up simultaneously, and then exploded.
In an instant, the world changed color, and Ling Han's aura rose to the divine level.
A divine aura spread out, making Ling Han appear incomparably holy.
"If I can't use Soul Power, then I'll use divine power!"
With a wave of his hand, divine power surged, sealing off the surrounding space.
"Let's go!"
Ling Han waved his hand and led the group away from there in a grand manner, successfully reaching the other side.
The Sea God and the Asura God watched this scene from the Divine Realm, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Damn it, is this kid cheating? He actually has divine power?!" Asura God couldn't help but complain.
Sea God nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about Ling Han.
"The Second Trial the Sea God Nine Trials: Break Through the Ring-Shaped Blockade, complete!"
That solemn voice rang out again, but this time it carried a hint of helplessness.
"Reward: Sea God Affinity increased by 10%, all Soul Ring durations increased by 20,000 years!"
This Second Trial was entirely thanks to Ling Han, so his reward was even greater than Tang San's.
Ling Han's Soul Ring Configuration has changed once again.
Ling Han's Sixth Soul Ring originally had a lifespan of 70,000 to 80,000 years, but now it has directly broken through 100,000 years and become a red Soul Ring.
Ling Han's current Soul Ring Configuration is five black and four red!
Tang San's reward was a 5% increase in Asura God Affinity, a 10,000-year increase in the age of all his Soul Ring, and a level increase in his Soul Power.
Therefore, Tang San's Sixth Soul Ring also broke through the 100,000-year mark.
Tang San's current Soul Ring Configuration is five black and three red!
Others also received corresponding rewards.
The Third Trial was beyond Ling Han's ability to help them pass quickly.
"The Third Trial the Sea God Nine Trials: The Sea God Body Tempering!"
Wait a minute? Sea God Body Tempering?
Ling Han was stunned. What the hell was this?
The Third Trial wasn't supposed to be the Tidal Body Tempering, so why has it become the Sea God Body Tempering?
Afterwards, Ling Han went to inquire about Tang San's Third Trial.
Tang San's Third Trial was called the Asura Body Tempering.
As for the others, they all continued to Tidal Body Tempering.
A bad feeling welled up in Ling Han's heart.
After he and Tang San were tied to the Sinking Silver Pillar, he finally understood the meaning of Tang San test.
While the others began their Tidal Body Tempering, two figures appeared before Ling Han and Tang San.
They were the Sea God and the Asura God.
Both were illusory images of divine consciousness, yet they still exuded a terrifying pressure.
The Sea God wields the Sea God Trident, Asura God wields the Asura Demonic Sword.
"Your Third Trial will be conducted by us personally!" said the Sea God.
Ling Han:?
Tang San:?
"Senior Sea God, you're settling a personal score! This is the Sea God Trident, it's not something to be trifled with!"
Ling Han understood what the Sea God meant and couldn't help but complain.
Sea God chuckled, "Stop your nonsense, kid. Focus on the test. Your divine body still has room for further improvement!"
Ling Han nodded. What the Sea God said made sense. If he wanted his god-level body to advance further, he could only rely on the help of a god.
